Orlando Pirates and Chippa United have confirmed their starting line-ups for this afternoon’s DStv Premiership fixture at Orlando Stadium.
It is set to be an electrifying encounter between struggling Chippa United, who are yet to win a game this season, and Pirates, who started the season with a victory, before drawing mid-week.
Daine Klate’s side start the season with a promising result following their 1-1 draw away from home against SuperSport United, but things changed after they were hammered by 3-1 at home by Royal AM midweek. Coming to this fixture that Chilli Boys has struggled to win in the last six years will definitely put a lot of pressure to them.
The Sea Robbers know they won’t find it easy even though they have dominated the fixture, especially at Orlando stadium in recent years and the Eastern Cape-based side managed to win once in 2013.
There’s a return to the Bucs starting line-up for Kwame Peprah, with the Ghanaian striker having missed out in the previous two fixtures.
Here’s is the line-up:
Orlando Pirates XI: Ofori, Maela, Ndah, Sibisi, Hotto, Monare, Mosele, Monyane, Lorch, Pule, Peprah.
Subs: Mpontshane, Eva Nga, Mako, Xoki, Shandu, Tlolane, Dlamini, Motshwari, Timm
Chippa United XI: Kazapua, Pietersen, Pfumbidzai, Chabalala, Mathiane Kammies, Luthuli, Appollis, Poggenpoel, Banda, Matrose
Subs: Prince, Mqokoza, Mbenyane, Maarman, Kambindu, September, Mini, Mduli, Ntsabo
